I had thought that I had read that Dumbledore was Head of Gryffindor 
before he became Headmaster (in CoS I think) but I could be wrong, as 
I can't find the reference now.  Can anyone else? (before I start to 
think I'm going mad!).
I also realise that I assumed this because of the loyalty Harry shows 
Dumbledore in the CoS brought him Fawkes and the sorting hat - not 
thinking that Harry was able to pull the sword out of the hat because 
he is a Gryffindor, not just loyal to Dumbledore.  My mistake!
